Testimonials

I was fortunate enough to have been under the supervision of Mikey at International level for close to 7 years. In this time I saw huge improvements to my physical strength and fitness.

What made him stand apart from other fitness coaches was his ability to motivate players, the variety in his sessions and his responsiveness to feedback we'd give him. He was constantly learning new techniques and drills to stay ahead of the times.

The biggest compliment I could give him was that he gave me an interest in going to the gym, at a time when I saw it as a chore. Short sharp blasts were his forte and I still use his sessions now, even though he's moved on to pastures new.

Brian O’Driscoll – Captain of Ireland and Lions 2005

I've been involved in boxing for 25 years now. I always felt I was on top of all my training and everything was in place. I suffered my first defeat and reassessed everything. I had a chance meeting with Mikey McGurn and a lot of my ideas towards training changed.

He taught me about weights. When done correctly they won't slow you down but could actually make me faster and more powerful which was exactly what I needed. He showed me how to do this without putting on weight as my sport is weight orientated. Maximising my strength and speed while maintaining my weight were vital for me to achieve my ambition of winning a World Title.

Working with Mikey has more than helped me achieve this goal. It has also educated me on the different types of training methods. Mikey has a great knack of being able to get what he wants done while being able to explain it so you know what your doing and the purpose for doing it.

Bernard Dunne – WBA Super Bantamweight World Champions

Mike was my strength and conditioning coach with Ireland from 2002 until 2007.

During that time I always felt I was getting the best, most up to date and innovative coaching I could get. I always felt he could get the best out of me in training and was able to train me in such a way that it was reproduced on the field – the most important reason anyone trains.

Mike's own solid beliefs in how I should train were always intermingled with new ideas from himself and the best Strength and Conditioning coaches in the world. We are now firm friends and I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best Strength and Conditioning coaching they can get.
